Cutting a Leaning Tree Safely

How Do I Cut Down a Leaning Tree Safely?

If you are planning to cut down a leaning tree, then you need to understand the risks involved and how to safely perform the task. You can use a chainsaw to complete the task, but you will need to make sure the work area is cleared and the home is protected from potential trespassers.

Hire a professional

You may need to call a professional to complete the job. This is because the cutting techniques used by professionals are much more effective than those you can do yourself. The first step is to determine the tree’s lean. This is easy to do by taking a measuring tape and seeing how far the frontal hinge of the tree is from its back edge.

Crowd method

Another way to figure out the tree’s lean is to take the crown method. This is the most common way to figure out the direction a tree is leaning. The crown method involves looking level at the longest branch on the leaning side of the tree.

Plumb line

The plumb line method is another good way to figure out which direction a tree is leaning. To make a plumb line, you will need a string and a weight attached to it. Once you have a string in place, you will want to attach the weight to the string so that it swings freely.

Crowbar

The crowbar method is another popular way to figure out a leaning tree’s direction. To do this, arborists drive a crowbar into the ground at an angle that is away from the desired fall direction.
